Variable dimension
Two band saws placed next to each other are connected to two motors on the ceiling. Activated every 3 minutes for 3 minutes: the average time of a tango. They dance without giving any account to the other, sometimes they take different shapes from the primordial one, sometimes, at the same time, they take the same shape.
By limiting themselves to being inhuman, they create a narrow distance between them. But when they touch each other, from the metal, a strong and combative sound emerges that makes them duel or repel, so as not to suffer a conquest.
Sometimes they dance together, sometimes they collide, sometimes they fight, it's as if two me confront each other every day.
Here the work becomes interactive. The spectator confronts himself with the work, it is he who adapts his closeness to the work, evaluating the danger in first person.
This work won the National Art Prize, 2019 in Turin, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, president of the jury.
